Prayer for Renewal of Consecration
to Our Patroness of the United States of America, the Immaculate
Conception
Most Holy Trinity: Our Father in Heaven, who chose Mary as the
fairest of your daughters; Holy Spirit, who chose Mary as Your
spouse; God the Son, who chose Mary as Your Mother; in union with
Mary, we adore Your majesty and acknowledge Your supreme, eternal
dominion and authority.
Most Holy Trinity, we put the United States of America into the
hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may present the country
to You. Through her we wish to thank You for the great resources
of this land and for the freedom, which has been its heritage.
Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on the Catholic
Church in America. Grant us peace. Have mercy on our President and
on all the officers of our government. Grant us a fruitful economy
born of justice and charity. Have mercy on capital and industry
and labor. Protect the family life of the nation. Guard the
precious gift of many religious vocations. Through the
intercession of our Mother, have mercy on the sick, the poor, the
tempted, sinners — on all who are in need.
Mary, Immaculate Virgin, Our Mother, patroness of our land, we
praise you and honor you and give our country and ourselves to
your sorrowful and immaculate heart. O Sorrowful and Immaculate
Heart of Mary, pierced by the sword of sorrow prophesized by
Simeon, save us from degeneration, disaster and war. Protect us
from all harm. O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, you who
bore the sufferings of your Son in the depths of your heart, be
our advocate. Pray for us, that acting always according to your
will and the will of your divine Son, we may live and die pleasing
to God. Amen.
